Martial Law or Electorial College?

Clearly, the stage is set to blame Russia for a Trump victory. Our model still shows the largest turnout may take place here in 2016. This scares the blood, no matter how cold, right out of the veins of the career politicians. There are two scenarios running around behind the curtain. I reported the one that Obama would declare martial law, suspend the constitution and remain in the presidency declining to allow Hillary or Trump to take the throne. Others are proposing that you still blame Russia, but then throw it to the Congress by means of the electoral college and that way keep it under the pretense of being constitutional. Any way you shape it, it does not look like they will allow Trump to take the White House regardless of the vote.
